The Choir has been an auto include for Menoth ever since 1st ed. My old store used to give people a 25% off discount if you bought the Menoth starter and the Choir box together they were so fused at the hip.

Leviathans would also be cool with aiakos. That's d3 pow 15 shots on your large base charge target. I'm not sure how much mileage the reapers will get with assault tho. If they don't end in melee they fail the charge, so you get a pow12 drag and have to buy the rest. Cut Question tho: if u charge a squishy dude and kill it with the first shot but have two left over, do you just stop or can you target other stuff wearing a lampshade fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Aug 5, 2016 |

Menoth can't hit anything with ranged warjacks anymore because of the change to battle no longer increasing RAT. So obviously true sight is wasted on them, because RAT5 is literally impossible to hit other models.

Ooooh true, if you run a big pile of jacks you can get 1 from Power Up, 1 from Feat, then put the third on with Allocation and regain it with feat. Having your entire army of jacks be able to have 3 Focus and have your caster be full on Focus is a cool trick.

My Khador buddy loves Malakov and I can see where he is coming from now; War Room Army Khador - New Army Theme: No Theme Selected 75 / 75 Army Kommander Andrei Malakov - WJ: +28 - War Dog - PC: 3 - Behemoth - PC: 24 (Battlegroup Points Used: 24) - Juggernaut - PC: 12 (Battlegroup Points Used: 4) - Juggernaut - PC: 12 Man-O-War Drakhun - PC: 9 Orin Midwinter, Rogue Inquisitor - PC: 5 Greylord Outriders - Leader & 4 Grunts: 20 Kayazy Eliminators - Leader & Grunt: 5 Kayazy Eliminators - Leader & Grunt: 5 Widowmaker Scouts - Leader & 3 Grunts: 8 He can be virtually unkillable with Drakhun sitting within Sucker and Counter Charge range. Orin makes him immune to spell assassination. Meanwhile his jacks are advancing up the field and on feat turn they get to dance around you. Outriders get stealth from his prowl battle plan and prance up the field on stealth..letting you only shoot at either him or his jacks. Starting to see how defensive this guy is and what a PITA he will be.

What do you think it would take for the Stormguard to be good? I've been trying to think of what an attachment or super solo could grant them but I just can't figure out what they need. Defensive Line was the first thing that came to mind, but that might be too good and starts to encroach on the Silver Line's shtick. It feels like they need something to up their defense on the board, since the Stormblades are the offense Storm Infantry, but what would make them work?

Friendly Fire posted:Defensive Strike and immune to blast damage. I'd been thinking about Defensive Strike but they're fragile and one wound but then I realized that I was thinking about Retaliatory Strike, which would be dumb. Immunity from blast damage is a no-brainer, of course. drat, those would do it and now I'm sad that they don't have them.

It feels like they need something to up their defense on the board, since the Stormblades are the offense Storm Infantry, but what would make them work? Ironically, the Stormblades are the only one of the three infantry Stormunits with any hint of survivability - the minifeat helps them survive at least some stuff. I tried playing the Silverline with Nemo3, but they're even more awful than they used to be, if that's even possible - there's more infantry hate, and they made their offensive buff harder to apply.. I think the problem is that any statline would be better than DEF12/ARM15; the DEF is low enough that snipers can reliably hit them even with concealment, and the ARM is low enough that most blast damage kills them. The statline is also low enough to keep single buffs from being meaningful - sure, you can give them Arcane shield and keep them from dying to blast damage, but then you wasted it on a unit instead of a 'jack. They do start to get survivable when you stack two buffs, like an army-wide defensive spell and maybe Rhuperts concealment. I think defensive line would be good for them, it would put them at ARM17 against blast and ARM20 with Arcane Shield, getting them close to what other infantry in that role can do. Then again, they're still stuck at SPD5. Right now I don't see any place for the normal Stormguard, even with defensive buffs, as other units can do their job better. The trenchers being a legit all-in-one package only makes the problem worse - why take Stormguard, when you can get an AD dig in unit with CRA for the exact same price, who pose more troublesome questions to your opponent, have more utility, and can reliably kill a diverse range of infantry?

Malakov2 -War Dog -Behemoth -Beast 09 -Juggernaut Fenris Drakhun Kovnik Joe Artillery Kapitan Eliminators Rifle Corps I don't have any greylord escorts to make use of Sneak, so I went with a bigger, better Juggernaut in Beast 09 and the general usefulness of Rifle Corps + Tac Supremacy. Fenris will make a fun target for fighting dirty: He's got a 13" pathfinder threat range and he's not afraid to use it.

Magres posted:Is there anything exciting going on in Legion these days? I kinda want to play with my dinosaurs again Hellmouths release soon? They're kinda neat/annoying.  Basically they can't move, but have advance deploy and every turn they respawn their little tentacle dudes. 8" command range and the tentacles have a grab that when they hit something it gets teleported to next to the mouth and it takes a free attack on it (it's POW is very high). The mouth also has high arm and takes 1 less damage die from attacks. 8 boxes, iirc. It's a really interesting unit.

If you can load up a unit with dirty fighting every turn and then not have them attack for a round or two it's gonna be great. If not Dirty fighting is really situational and not something you can rely on because getting that guy within 5" of a unit that can use dirty fighting the same turn is risky business because Malakov doesn't want to be anywhere near melee.
